Pictures. Not a lot of words.
Stone Mountain.
A bubble.
Atlanta.
Blue Sky.
What is that?
A gum tree, of course.
Firework setting. Glow sticks. Cool.
More coolness.
One handsome man.
I snapped this at the right moment.
Finally, a little vacation. I haven’t been anywhere really since I got back from China.
As long as the weather gods are nice to us, Phil and I should enjoy a lovely weekend. First we are going to take in a long over due Atlanta Braves game. I haven’t been to one since Mother’s Day 2005. At least, I think that was the last time I was able to go. Since the game is on July 4th, we will get treated to fireworks after the game. I know it won’t even hold a flame to the fireworks I saw in Hangzhou, but I’m sure they will be pretty nonetheless. You can click here if you want to see what I am talking about. Even that video doesn’t do the display justice. I wish those buildings hadn’t been in the way, though.
I really hope the Braves can pull off a win for me. They haven’t had the best season so far, so I am not going to hold my breath or anything. There is still a chance that they could go on an impressive winning streak and take back their division. That would be nice. Perhaps my presence will spark a season turn around or something. 🙂
On Saturday, we are going to head over to Stone Mountain. We are going to get the Adventure Pass for $25 bucks. It will allow us to do just about everything that the park offers. I’ve been to Stone Mountain several times, but the only thing I can remember doing is taking the tram, climbing the mountain, and watching the laser light show. There is a lot more to do now, inculding this thing called Sky Hike. It looks like a lot of fun.
On Sunday, we are going to China Town. There are a lot of China shops in Columbia, but not like there is in Atlanta. We’ll stock up on all the goodies we haven’t had in a long time, and then come back home. I’m really excited. This weekend should be fun.
I was looking through some of the videos of my past visits to Turner Field, and I found this one. 90 feet is a lot longer than it looks like on TV. And yes, I was the only one over 10 participating. 🙂

I was going to say that was no gum tree until I opened the photo up.

Phil is pretty, not handsome. Get it right.
Question, where were you at when you took that picture of the ATL skyline? I’m having a hard time picture where that much water would be in relation to Atlanta.

There is no water in that picture. It is an illusion I think. I was standing on top of Stone Mountain when that picture was taken. The foot hills and the smog/clouds are what make it look like water.
It does sorta look like Atlanta is about to be engulfed by the ocean though. Heh.
